Moro launches a project to fight corruption, violent crime and organized crime | New

The Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sergio Moro, introduced the bill to Mayor Rodrigo Maia, Secretaries of State for Public Security and 12 governors.

The purpose of the anti-crime package is to speed up the execution of sentences imposed on those convicted of crimes of violence, corruption or participation in organized crime. The bill also provides for tougher penalties and strengthens the enforcement of the sentence after the second instance conviction, which has already been understood by the Federal Supreme Court, but would be enshrined in law.

"The Supreme has already stated four times that it was constitutional – we want it to be clear in ordinary law, that is, after the execution. of the conviction in the second instance, the execution begins, is not it? It is important for corruption, it is important for violent crimes, it is important For organized crime, it is not fair for corruption, it will not help if we move the rest of the law if the criminal procedure does not work if it does not end within a reasonable time. Thus, there is no point in increasing the sentence of crime, for example, not that the bill provides for it, but rather to bring the penalty for murder if the trial does not succeed. It raises, it takes something symbolic and the process does not work. "

The bill provides for amendments to judgments rendered by a court with jury, involving the company, essentially involving cases of intentional homicide – with intent to kill. Through the project, the execution of the sentence begins immediately after the jury's decision.

"The measure is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the jury court competent for these crimes.Finally, the criminal goes out the front door, ends up taking a bus to go home and still divides the chair with jurors or with witnesses or with relatives of the victim Yes, it is possible to change. "

The anti-crime package also deals with self-defense. In the case of serving police officers, the proposal specified situations that could be considered defensive actions.

In practice, serving police officers who kill someone because of a confrontation and ordinary citizens who submit evidence that the death occurred in self-defense may have the process shut down if the court finds that there was no crime. The case will only be judged if there is an excess, such as a very large number of strokes.

In these cases, according to the Justice badysis, the project provides for the reduction of the sentence in half, or even the cancellation. The call to exclude the illegality was an election promise of Jair Bolsonaro. The proposal says: "The judge can reduce the sentence by half or stop applying it if the excess comes from a fear, a surprise or a violent emotion" .

"The purpose of the proposal is to cast doubt on the fact that the specific situations described therein constitute a legitimate defense, then a police officer, a police officer who, in the event of abduction with a hostage, takes steps to To prevent the death of the victim, it is obvious that he is acting in self-defense, but sometimes even for a discretionary or subjective question of statutory interpretation, this situation was sometimes not understood in this way. So we have just clarified in the law that we have just extracted from the concept of the relevant legitimate defense citations.Therefore, there is no license to kill.Anyone who says that this is false, that there is no license to kill. he did not read the bill, is an interpretation "

. The bill also provides that offenders convicted of heinous crimes resulting in death will take longer to get the sentence. There will be progression only if they have already served three-fifths of the sentence, not two-fifths, as is the case today. In addition, the bill provides for the inclusion of militias in the list of criminal organizations, so that they are subject to the same sanctions as these groups.

Moro also included in the proposal a plea bargain, an agreement in which the main purpose is the confession of the crimes of the accused, unlike a prize-giving ceremony, in which he is necessary to appoint other co-sponsors.

"This should not be confused with collaboration." Collaboration agreement, we already have in 12,850, was widely used in Lava Jet, is a criminal who decides to betray his peers, to collaborate, by delivering crimes of third, in addition to himself, and so he receives the benefits.No penalty negotiation, he admits, admits and negotiates the sentence.What do you need? detailed indictment, a proposal to apply the sentence. The idea here is to reduce the costs of the judicial process, the speed and the processing of the proceedings for cases in which confessions are detailed can solve cases without expensive trials. "

The Minister stated that the proposal provided that the judge would not validate the agreement reached between the accused and the Attorney General if the sanction proposal was unlawful or disproportionate to the crime and, in cases of recidivism, the agreement had to provide part of the sentence. sentence in closed regime.

The bill also criminalizes box 2 – unregistered electoral donations.

"This is an important step to advance and eliminate this factor of fraud in the electoral process, a typification more appropriate to this type of behavior".
